September evening a week later, and the fast gathering twilight cast a dim obscurity over the landscape, when up a. hill, at the foot of which lay the little town of Standwell, came a rider. On reaching the top of the hill the` rider paused a moment to regain his? breath. As he sat; up in his saddle he ` heard the sound of cycle wheels and! turning his head saw another rider, who had evidently ascended the hill close behind him. ' V-View Iuvvoann-nu o--coa- This one presented a striking appear- ance, for with the exception of shoes and stockings he was clothed completely in white-a white calico jacket with loose knickers of the same material, and on his head a large, soft wide awake of white felt.

The ecorcher s spirit we roused within him, for it was his boast that he allowed no one to pass him on the road. So, bending low over his ban-_ dles, he pedaled furiously to regain the lead and soon overtook and passed the Standwell man. The latter, however, at once replied by a sprint which again gave him first position. This was a. di- rect challenge. There could be no mis- take sbout that. The scoroher was amazed. Did a Standwell Wheeler dare to challenge him? Very well, then. That man must learn that no member of` the despised club could hope to keep pace with him. So, getting well over his work, he settled down to business `and goingfor all he was worth again passed his opponent. , . . A SCORCHER CURED. - you 11 em; is sung in you go IIDIII.

Opinions differ as to the comfort de- rived from the dierent materials from which underwear is made, but there is one thing which admits of no doubt, and that is that while silk is exceeding- ly warm, soft and pleasant to the .esh it is at the same time by no means the healthiest substance for the undergar- ment. In proof of this practical obser- vation has demonstrated that silk stock- ings will make the toughestand health- iest feet moist, wet and tender, until walking becomes painful. A silk scar! worn around the neck next to. the skin will in nine wearers out of ten produce sore throat. Silk makes the neck hot and moist, and the first stray `breath of cool air that strikes the skin feels like a drop of iced water and will pro- duce a cold. Silk seems to have the t faculty, as contrasted with wool, at ; opening the pores and inciting perspira- - tion. and if it will do this with the feet and neck there is every reason to bo- ` lieve that `it, will produce equal suscep- j tibility to cold when worn about the 3 chest and limbs. Those who wear silk 3 tockings invariably have tender feet. i 1I.- ...-1-`LL-A. -_..`I-.-. L. 4.1.. -...1- -'- ` I"you`1l any a song as yn go along. In than fun: nf 1|-an ran] nr tho hnnlna u _le..

What. sea there was on would not have both-" ered a quarter boat, andthe ship lifted to a wave only at long intervals. The second mate and I were superintending some work forward, while the captain was alone on the quarter deck. All of a suddenand without the slightest warn- ing the sea began to boil and heave un- der and around us in the most violent manner, and` for five minutes every man had to hold on for his life. In her pitch- ing the craft shipped three or four green seas, which swept the decks of every- thing ,movable. We werecongratulating ourselves that all `sad escaped when the captain was found to be missing. The last wave we shipped had no doubt car- ried him away, and by the time we had come to this concluion itwas too late to make any move. H11... ...... 1.-.!

Just where we were when the agitation -began the chart showed -the depth to be a full mile. Three months later, when soundings were taken by a French vessel, it was found that a mountain two miles in circum- ference at the base had been heaved up until its crest was only 40 feet below the surface. The set of wind and wave before and after the agitation was to the westward, and ten minutes after the ship had come back to a level keel the wind changed to the east and blew half a gale for the next seven hours. As a matter of record, the ship pursued her voyage and made the port of Bom- bay without further adventure, and the remainder of the story relates to the captain. He was swept overboard by the last wave, just as we concluded, and presently found himself far to leeward among a lot of spars and casks which the same wave had taken from the main deck. While the man seized a spar and passed a lashing around his body he had no hope of rescue. A 'l....-..L 1.48-..- I... -.....`I8......1 I._ _....:L-_ xv vrv w. an weave- Almost before he realized his position the ship was a mile away, and he felt sure that no boat would be lowered to make a search for him. The spar to which he was lashed drifted away to_ the west, and evening came on-. Between 5 o'clock and sunset four ship passed the drifting man, but all too far away to see or hear, and when` night came down he felt that there was no longer the slightest chance for him. He drift- ed to the westward, as I have told you, but how far has never been known. Night passed and another day came, and toward the close of that day Gap-' tain Graham lost consciousness. He may have drifted a day after that-per- haps two days. When he came to his senses again, _he was lying on a sandy beach, with his feet in the water. He had been cast ashore on an island. It was surelyan island to the north and west of Madagascar, but for reasons which will be explained later on it can- not be more denitely located. For an hour after opening his eyes the man could not unlash himself from the spar. When he had finally accomplished that object, he had to crawl on handsand knees to reach the shade of the bushes. It was high noon and the weather hot, and the captain was so exhausted that if he had not found fresh water and wild fruit at hand he must have perish- ed. He ate and drank his fill and then slept, and the sun was just rising next ' Inorningwhen he awoke. l'l'!l.- 2-1--) :L-_ LL- 4-_L--.._- --...- -IuAuaua `V1 Civil luv ICVV `live The island, when the castaway came to survey it, was about two miles and a half long by one mile in breadth, and its "average height above the sea was not over 15 feet. It was of volcanic ori- gin and was entirely covered with ver-- dure, and there were six or seven di`er- ent sorts of wild fruits. Along the beach were oysters and shellsh in abundance, and the captain soon assured himself that starvation would not be one of the perils of his situation. What struck him curiously was the entire ab- sence of life en the island. There was neither animal nor bird, reptile nor in- sect. There should have been a dozen , varieties. of birds and an abundance of insect life on so fair a spot with its tropical climate, but it was simply ten- antless.` And yet there was _ life there, f and where the castaway least expected.

When the castaway had been a month on the island wigxout sighting a sail. he made up his the poor fellow who had dz" bed into the sea would some day be his -e felt that he would lose his mind unless he made an effort to divert it from the gloomy situation, and he began a closer survey of the island. The center of it was con- siderably higher than elsewhere, and exactly in the middle was a single tree, surrounded by a thicket which he had never yet penetrated. In carrying out his explorationshe entered this copse. nding` a hard beaten path, evidently made by a `crazy man. Piled up at the roots of the tree the captain found a great stock of small iron bound boxes, and it needed but one glance to satisfy him that they were treasure boxes. There was the cavity where they had once been buried, and the boxes were weather beaten as if long exposed. Two or three large shells lay about, which had doubtless been used to dig out the dirt, and one of the boxes had been opened. "TL- -n.-L-:u- Janos-`.::u-Aa` Ck`- `not ob!` ind that the fate of_ UlJUlnIU\Je The captain shouldered this box and carried it down to the spot he called home, and there inspected its con- tents. It contained about $6, 000 in gold coin of all nations, but principally Eng- lish, and not a coin among them was of recent date. In fact, there were some which no longer circulated in England or India. From the material and con- struction the captain judged that the boxes had been made bya ship's carpen- ter. In the pile at the foot of the tree- were 15 other boxes of the same size. One was broken open. and its contents found to be the same as the rst and the amount very nearly the same. There was a total, as the captain gured, of $100, 000 more or less. This was based on the supposition that all the boxes contained gold, but as he looked into only two he could not be sure of the contents of the others. How came the treasure there? Captain Graham believ- ed it to be a piratc`s cache and that the gold had been there long years before he was thrown on the beach. Perhaps the mad sailor had been one of the pi- rate crew. It was certain that he had unearthed the treasure at any rate, and it was hardly probable that he stum- bled upon it by accident. I"l"l..Il LL--- -u... ..

Days and* weeks and months passed away, and one day the castaway counted up the pebbles he had laid in rows along the beach to mark the time and found that he had been 11 months on the island. n-V cunt. saw an u-va.-vs.--u van: u-v --a----- On that day there came a furious gale from the east, with a very high tide, and from some wreck at sea the wave: brought in a vast quantity of stuff. There was nothing to eat or to wear among the wreckage, but there were planks and spars and a carpenter's tool chest, and as soon as the storm had abated the castaway went to work to build him a raft. He had determined to leave the island at any hazard, and after four or five` days work he had his raft completed. It was a rude but stout affair. Wild fruits were taken for pro- visions, and fresh water was carried in a wine keg which had come ashore with the wreckage. From one of the boxes the captain took $500 in goldpieces, and one morning when the wind was from the west he launched his raft and drift ed 01! before it. By his reckoning, which was probably correct, it was seven days before he was picked up by the John J. Speed, an American merchant vessel, homeward bound. ` --v--- um: \- av u-a-uu The raft had made good weather of it, drifting most of the time tothe east, and the captain judged her total drift to have been 100 miles. His loss had been alluded to in the newspapers and talked of among sailors, and he was given a hearty welcome aboard the American. He related his adventures in full, except as to the treasure, and in due time was landed at Cape Town. He had. figured out the latitude and. longi- tude of his island to his own satisfao-_ tion, V bat the chart on board the Speed failed to show any such island. Captain Graham at once set about nding a ship to bring the treasure eif; A brig was nally chartered-and sailed with him aboard, but after a cruise of months she ` failed to nd the island. Where Captain Graham said the island ought to be lead ` found bottom at 40 feet, and in the im-- mediate neighborhood a mass of trees andbushes was found oating about. | Village overrun With skunks.
